Yes, you should have no problems using 32- and 64-bit systems and big-
endian systems all together with AFS.  I have both 32bit and 64bit
fileservers (x86 linux, x86 solaris, sparc solaris, 32bit AIX), and all
sorts of different clients (x86 linux, macs, solaris sparc, solaris x86,
AIX, IRIX) and they are all happily working.  I thought I heard somewhere,
however, that support for Tru64 is going away fairly soon.
